The Oldest Chinese Restaurant in Singapore: Spring Court - Food Stories

[@tikus-sq4xi]

Gracious, determined, risk taker. Her father in law must be very proud of her. Keep up the traditional offerings and the taste buds drooling. Fair play to you, you look so humble and honest about spring court history. It's an iconic building and will always be.

[@eths1966]

An elegant lady who perseveres. I hope I make it to your restaurant some day. Thank you.

[@sinneruki]

Such an elegant lady

[@u235u235u235]

lol restaurant owners are some of the nastiest people around. restaurant work is hard and long hours and you really need to keep on top of people almost with a whip and threat of termination to get results. the second you look away quality and performance drops. sad, but true. good restaurant = good management. really not much else to it.

[@kelvinickable]

Can we have a drama series based on the life story of this lady please? definitely will watch

[@Dazulolwarrior]

400 dollars because of the bird's nest. But as she said, only those that can afford it will go for it so power to those people.

[@cant461]

back then to be honest 1 chicken..can feed a family for three days to a week..social gap that time very huge gap.

[@Dazulolwarrior]

gap still big too these days

[@khokl9288]

I don't see ppl complain paying $6 for coffee. Or more than $1000 for M-Stars restaurant.

[@saint1492]

I m stepping into my 80's and can still remember the outlet at Great World. Good dining experience for weddings and birthdays. Yes, indeed it was the in-place for occasions.

Its interesting to hear that

Great production!

[@evanah8250]

I will never forget the taste of most dishes there and yes, the chicken was so tasty! My ah gong bought it for us everytime he visits spring court! Now he is gone..i missed him so much and am so thankful that i have him to guide me all these while

I would have to go try the Bird nest chicken. Remind me of my childhood with my parents traveling places. WOW! I knew I would find something like that! Finally. Thanks for sharing. I am in My sixty. Love to go back to feels the old days, specially the old time foods and restaurants.

[@a27461]

the food was delicious there and the people there are really kind

[@Starlight_Moonlight77]

OMG, $8 is very cheap for a such elegant traditional cuisine over 90 Y.O recipe (almost like fast food price). Honestly I'm very amazed how tough and brave she was as a business woman. I hoped these restaurant could get michellin stars for genuine classic dishes.

Amazing I hope to eat here one day. manifestation do your thing girl. Also love the classy woman she seems full of wisdom

[@SuccessforLifester]

I am not sure but I think last time it was a teochew restaurant occupying that address? Spring court took over it ?

[@Remomba]

My great grand mother used to come here to eat waayyy back.. and now we still try to come and eat as and when... following our family tradition.... hopefully we are eating the same food she ate when she was alive but nevertheless not being biased but it really is the best chinese restaurant in my opinion in terms of food...

[@FunYouLeh]

Hello 八嫂 and Zhi Hao! Notable diners: 董俊竞, 李光前, 邵仁枚, 黃篤修 Some of us know the history too :) The real history of Spring Court. Love, Tiong Bahru UOB bank, back in 1980s:)

Please delete the only question by the producer... she already said the restaurant was founded in 1929, so if one do the maths should easily determine how old is the restaurant

[@rdu239]

Because some locals are poor in math, need to spit out the obvious

[@DarinDominic95]

What she said is true, the tradition, authenticity and taste is dying. With all the new technique's or fusion experiments the taste aspect is less given importance. People just want to try new things. the feeling of a hearty meal is not relevant among youngsters anymore.

not alot of youngsters can afford a 400$ chicken
